I visited Sanctum Soho Hotel when I went to their disabled toilet after lunch at Nopi next door (see previous post). By the way it didn’t have enough bars and was accessed via a lift and after a large chair was removed. I since asked them to fill in an accessibility audit form and this…
Bumpkin I have been told by Lieutenant No1 and The American Lieutenant are worth a visit. Owned by the same group that owns one of my favourite bars – Bar Eclipse – I will definitely be trying them soon. There are 3 Bumpkin Westfield Stratford City, Bumpkin South Kensington and Bumpkin Notting Hill. They all…
I haven’t been to either Bar Prague (there’s one at Angel, Islington and one in Shoreditch, Hackney), but I did eventually get them on the phone . They are bars that serve ‘Traditional Czech bar snacks’ all day. Both are described as ‘bohemian’ and display local artist’s work. Both I’m assured have disabled access as…
The Shaftesbury is a Youngs pub between kew and Richmond. I’ve put this on my list as they have just refurbished and have made a good job of access and facilities. The food was OK and it’s a bit formulaic and there is a courtyard/garden. The Shaftesbury gets 1.5 BBS Ticks

Benares is a modern Michelin starred British Indian restaurant and bar. They are located in Berkeley Square House and there is access via a lift. They have informed me that there is a disabled toilet. As you can tell I haven’t been there yet but the food sounds exceptional. So if anyone reads this and has been,…
Bar Eclipse is an old haunt I used when I walked with sticks but it is also wheelchair friendly as it’s at street level. They have a disabled toilet and there is a disabled parking space nearby. For summer evenings there is a retractable roof – what …?! Great atmosphere, location and cocktails. Bar Eclipse…
Update Feb 2013: Bank in Birmingham is fully accessible and has a disabled toilet. Looks good but haven’t been yet. They get 2.5 Provisional BBS Ticks. Zinc in Manchester has access via a back entrance, a disabled toilet and bar are on the ground floor. There are 7 steps between the restaurant and bar/toilet so…
Balans at Westfield is part of the Balans group, described as ‘the perfect place to eat and drink anytime’. I went there after Christmas shopping and was surprised at the quality of the food and the fact I had plenty of room for my wheelchair. There is also a disabled toilet and access is all on one…
